Fences Upon Public Lands.

THE DECISION OF JUDGE BARNES OF ARIZONA.
The surveyor general Of Arizona has sent to the
General Land Office copy OF the decision Of Judge
Barnes OF Arizona in the case Of the United States
against Colin Cameron, suit brought to compel
the removal OF fences upon public land. The de-
tense set up that the land was embraced in the
claimed limits Of the De La Zanja private land
grant. This grant is claimed under purchase OF
four square leagues from the Mexican govern
ment. Grant-hOlderS claim sixteen square leagues
The FENCES are upon the larger quantity. The
court ruled upon the question OF what constitutes
claim that reserves land until Congress passes
upon II, and said 1t was the claim described in the
tltlepapers and not the claim alleged by petitions
Tor conflrmatiOn; and that II the petition were to
mark the limits OF the claim this would lead to the
absurd conclusion that under valid grant for
Few acres claimant in his petition may insist
once fence it up, exclude everybody else from it,
and retain the uses and profits from it until Con-
gress shall act. This construction the court says
cannot for moment be maintained. In conclu-
siOn the court said that the flour square leagues
at the place La Zanja," as described In the grant
scan be no other than the four leagues that touch
that point, that is, that corner there. Any other
construction makes this grant void for uncer-
tainty. must hold, therefore, that fence erected
outside OF those four square leagues is an unlaw-
ful enclosure OF the public lands" The findings
and Judgment were for the Government. The de-
cision is regarded as nicant because OF the i'm
portance OF the principles involved, and because
OF an immense political and financial influence
which is said to be exerted in this against the
Government

night OF great surprise. IT marked the inaugu.

hari-karf, or OF opposition by happy dispatch. To
begin with, Smith moved his resolution that the
report on the coercion bill be closed next Monday
at without speaking a word, only rising a half
inch from his seat. Dillon followed In a wearied
speech. Labouchere spoke at unusual length
with unusual dullness, his only joke being an
ironcal allusion to the fair -mindedness OF smith,
who, "when compelled 10 close our mouths be-
gins by closing his own" Finally he applied 10

against hasty legislation 'The damned and
damnable legislation OF hell" half dozen tenth
rate speeches brought the house 10 20 minutes TO
g. The division of 30 to l:o did not elicit cheers.
Until the speaker rose and called upon Maurice
Healy to move the next amendment no one had
any idea
THE FAMOUS SCENE had ALREADY BEGUN.
When no Maurice Healy was forthcoming the
members looked about and discovered not a Par
nellite in the house and only two members OF the
whole GladstOnian party. ''What does this
mean?" was instantly on every ones lips. Mean
while the speaker pursued the even tenor or his
way by calling over the names attached to the
amendments on the paper, and paused for a second

were reached he moved them by q spasmodic
jump In his seat. They were agreed TO Instantly.

LITTLE RAIN IN THREE MONTHS.
Vegetation Burned Up by LOng-COn-
tinued Drought I'm Illinois and Wis
COnSin.

CHICAGO, July LA local paper says: No such
drought now prevails has existed in Illinois and
Wisconsin for many years The roads are ankle
deep with dust, the pastures are brown, and the
leaves on forest and shade trees Shrtvelled up
and each hot breath OF air from the cloudess hor-
lion drives them away In showers. Creeks have
run dry and the water in the larger streams is at
lower stage than was ever known before. There
has not been a soaking rain In this part OF the
country since March. Two showers ia April and
one each In May and June had but temporary
effect on cropS.S Stunted yellow spears bending
dfScOnS0latOry over immense beds OF dust are the
only evidence taat the f,rmers sowed any corn
this year. The leaves OF the fruit trees are falling
or and the fruit, which promised to be plenty, is
wrfnkled and dried 70 the stem Raspberry bushes
look as though they were producing a crop OF
shot, SO 1nf1niteSimal and hard are the berries
The drought has become SO terrible that public
prayers are being offered for rain. The fences
along the country ROADS and the dead walls or the
villages are plastered with huge bills calling for
special services at the district schoo-houses and
churches Fires are burning in the woods and
pastures for miles around are Scorched. The
farmers have lost many cattle in these fires which
seem TO spring up In dozen places at once Re-
ports from all parts OF Henry and adjoining coun-
ties tell OF intense suffering from the drought.
The drinking water in many towns has been pol
Iuted and the white beds OF the creeks covered
with decaytng fish. The drought in the northern
and central tiers OF counties OF Illinois Is not any
more serious than II Is in Wisconsin. The Badger
State Is literally burning up, and fruit and crops
are nearly destroyed. Reports from Northwestern
Iowa state that the drought has been broken.

Chief Arthur SDeaks.
TEERIA SHOULD BE NO CONFLICT BETWEEN CAPT.


TERRIs SHOULD BE NO CONFLICT BETWEEN CAPITAL
AND LABOR.
Grand Chief Engineer Arthur, Of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers, speaking at pub
lie meeting Of the ORDER held in Ottawa, Ont, yes
terday, said there should be no conflict between
capital and labor. Labor had its rights, but nc
labor organization had right to prevent others
from working. 1t was right given by God that
a man could quit or q man could work, but when
labor Org anizatlOns tried to prevent others from
taking the place OF strikers they made great mis-
take. Capital also made the mistake when it tried
to tyranniZe over men. He said: "Be honest,
truthful and do your duty. 1t is not wealth oi

ami he who has that Is the peer Of any man on

SOURCE OF DISCORD.
The Ohio prOhibtttonists concluded their con-

puted point was the endorsement OF woman suf-
frage which was finally carried after an all-day
fight John T. Moore, a former democratic lawyer
was made permanent president, to succeed Rev.
Mr.. Nash, q UntverSalist preacher, whose views on
a future life were unpopular with the MethOdiSts.
The platform adopted is very long. 1t re1terates
the denunciations OF the liquor traffic. condemns
the Ohio Dow liquor law, extends numerous prom
tSes to the wOrk1ngmen, who are invited to the
prohibition party as their only salvation; recon-
mendS woman suffrage, condemns anarchy, en-
dOrseS civil service reform, opposes sudden or viO
lent changes in the tariff, and deprecates the
fostering OF sectional an1moSitteS between the
North and South. Further safeguards are de-
manded for Sunday observance and temperance In
SJruct1On in public schools.
A special to the Philadelphia Press says: ''The
opposition to female suffrage was the feature OF
the convention and caused long discussion, end
ing in its Endorsement, upon which Rev. Mr.. Nash
declared that 10, 600 prohibtionist votes In Ohio
would desert the cause rather than vote according
to the platform adopted"
